OVERVIEW:
Breezes is something of a YZ favorite – for years, we’ve recommended the property to clients, and it has delivered every time! There’s accommodation to suit a range of budgets here. If you are looking for something quieter, smaller options are available, such as the highly exclusive Palms or Zawadi Hotel. But it’s worth mentioning that service standards at Breezes are exceptionally good, among the best on Zanzibar.
ACCESS & LOCATION:
Breezes Beach Club is situated on a stretch of beach along Zanzibar’s Michamvi Peninsula. It’s accessed via road transfer from Abeid Amani Karume International Airport, a journey of 58 kilometers or so.
